Educator shares key habit to exam success
An education expert has said one habit that plays a major role in academic excellence is “consistent, active revision."
Rebecca Ayeni-Jikunu told Legit.ng:
"This means setting a regular study schedule and using active techniques like self-quizzing, summarizing in their own words, teaching others, and practicing past papers, rather than just passively reading notes. It strengthens memory and reveals areas that need more work before the exam.”
People reject their UTME scores
A biology teacher, John Felix Obuighkem, who got low scores in his 2025 UTME, rejected it and said he even failed a subject he had been taking for decades.
John also threatened to go to court if his scores were not reviewed. Another candidate's sister also rejected her brother's scores. She said the result did not match the boy's brilliance. She mentioned how the boy had high scores in the past.
JAMB's reactions to low scores
The above were many of the complaints JAMB said it received and was working towards investigating. The exam body said:
"The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) acknowledges the significant volume of unusual complaints following the release of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, which were officially published last Friday. In response, the Board is fast forwarding its annual system review—a comprehensive post-mortem of the examination process that is conducted each year months after the exercise."
On how JAMB planned to resolve the issue, it said:
"We are currently scrutinising these complaints in detail to identify and rectify any potential technical issues. To assist in this process, we have engaged a number of experts, including members from the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners, who are heads of tertiary institutions, the Educational Assessment and Research Network in Africa, measurement experts, and Vice Chancellors from various institutions."
In a related story, Legit.ng reported that the UTME result of a pastor's son who was denied admission in 2024 had surfaced on social media.
Assistant head boy's UTME result
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that an assistant head boy's UTME result had surfaced on the internet.
According to the boy's sister, her brother was once an assistant headboy in his school. He said he once represented Lagos state in an academic competition, but his UTME result failed to reflect the hard work he put in. In 2024, the boy scored 63 in English, 73 in mathematics, 74 in physics, and 68 in chemistry. His sister wrote:
"We are not dullards in my family. I had 278 in 2017 - UILAW. My sister 320 -Unilag pharm2020. So explain how my brother will have 278 first trial and then 169 now?Ko possible. Top 3 student in his school, former assistant head boy, this boy has represented Lag state in competitions."
Joseph Omotayo, the HoD of the Human Interest Desk, contributed to this report, adding some of the complaints on UTME scores and JAMB's response.
Editorial assistant Ololade Olatimehin provided exclusive commentary from an education expert for this report.
